Plaintiff-Appellee
v.
JASON RAY BAKER,
Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. 7:11-CR-343-1

Before KING, CLEMENT, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The attorney appointed to represent Jason Ray Baker has moved for leave
to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386
U.S. 738 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011). Baker
has not filed a response, but he has filed a motion to relieve counsel and appoint
new counsel. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the
record reflected therein. We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal
presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. Accordingly, Baker’s motion
*

Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
